The most likely cause of this is air in the rear brake system. Unless the dealer can find a mechanical failure, I'm going to have mine bled and refilled with fresh brake fluid. The brakes on my Glasair III are hydraulic and unusual attitude flying often introduces air through a vent line and then they feel spongy just like the rear brake of my CB11 does now. I am constantly bleeding the brakes to give them proper feel and bite. The rear brake on my CB has never worked properly.
